At least with a cheapie you won't feel so annoyed if it fails soon after the warranty expires. I reckon the next batch of 0806 cameras may be worth a look.
Sorry to hear that. I did not know that....

I have Lukas and has it for approx 18 months. I preferred that as night time video was better than Blackvue and its going strong.

My other friend has Blackvue 500GW-HD. So, I must warn him.
